JBP: New blog post on the true meaning of "identity."

** JBP QUOTE
------------------------------------------------------------
"Human beings are, after all, seriously remarkable creatures. We have no peers, and it's not clear that we have any real limits. Things happen now that appeared humanly impossible even at the same time in the recent past when we began to wake up to our planet-sized responsibilities."
